It isn't an official Gumball 3000 until the authorities start impounding cars. The annual event for car-loving
millionaire scofflaws kicked off on Sunday in London, and various police forces around Europe have wasted little time
in catching up with the cash-happy racers.

Wuerzburg, Germany authorities reportedly bagged 44 of the 120 Gumballers en route to Belgrade for various
infractions, holding on to four of the racer's prized vehicles. No word on if any of the race's celebrity entrants have
been ensnared, but somehow we figure that Snoop Dogg, Jodie Kidd, Hugh Hefner and their ilk can
talk/photograph/autograph/buy their way out of any such issues.

This year's 3,000 mile high-speed, debauchery-laden Gumball will see stages in Europe, Thailand and the Western
U.S.
